Shiftless Layabout is...
Shiftless Layabout was founded in Seattle in the summer of 2002. It began with TK (one-time Revolutionary Hydra) writing songs in a one-room Univerisity District apartment under the working title of SOULIO. Dreams of a full band soon grew to include Matty's jazz-funk bass-plosion (The Red Note, RB Reed), Brandon's brassy sax (Banda Del Sol), Tom's blues-soaked guitar (BlacVelvett) and Christian's skin-slapping percussion (Banda Del Sol). Most recently they have rounded out the horn section with the fat trombone sounds of Heidi Wischler (Jonny Sonic, Randy Oxford Band). word.
The Shiftless sound is a blend of rock and funk, grit and polish, brass dynamite and bass thunder. They bring a fresh perspective to the old-school: combining wah-wah funk and ass-tingling brass with a crunchy dose of southern rock. Their influences include: Average White Band, War, Blood Sweat and Tears, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Frank Sinatra, Mofro, Lynard Skynard and a fistful of 70's kung-fu. hyah!
